k Grades Because grades are not required for homeschool students in Oklahoma, Florida parents can elect to award letter grades, pass/fail, or no grades (credit awarded for course completed in lieu of grades) for each subject studied. A well-kept log book and portfolio are better indicators of what homeschool children have studied and learned. Although many colleges are now asking to see portfolios, most homeschool transcripts do include grades as this is what is expected. If a parent does choose to award letter grades, they should choose t heir own method of arriving at grades and add this information to their portfolio.
